[COLOR="DarkGreen"][FONT="Tahoma"][quote name='ChibiHorsewoman][color=#9933ff][font=monotype corsiva][size=4]Second I'm with you Rach when you say that fighting is stupid and really what are these students trying to prove anyway? It will ruin them in the long run especially when potential employers look them up online and see what they were getting into when they were in high school. Seriously one of the best ways to lose a job and respect is for someone to find crap like that online where you were involved. Especially if you were the one fighting in the first place. If you were the one getting beat up, it could have the potential to work in your favor.[/color][/font][/size][/QUOTE]I've seen a bit of this kind of stupidity at my school. If you're caught, they'll suspend you from school. It really is one of the dumbest things ever. Not only will you have problems like you mentioned if potential employers see it, but it makes you look really immature and stupid too. I know if I was considering hiring someone and I saw them doing stuff like that online... I'd end up hiring someone else instead. [QUOTE=ChibiHorsewoman][color=#9933ff][font=monotype corsiva][size=4]I got bullied in high school so I definately wouldn't be the one in on it or holding the camera. I'd be the one trying to break it up and saying something about it. It's just not right and who the hell do these people think they are that they can beat someone up and record it then be dumb enough to psot it on youtube.[/color][/font'][/size][/quote]I'm the same (not the getting bullied part), I know I'd try to break a fight up or go and get someone to break it up. It's bad enough that they're even fighting but to post it online, that's even more petty. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkGreen"][FONT="Tahoma"]I have just one thing to add to this since people are forever mistaking my dog for poodle... Seriously... She's a BICHON. Get it right! Poodles are hyperactive little pain in the butt yip dogs! Bichon's on the other hand... RULE! :D [I][SIZE="1"]*cough*[/SIZE][/I] ANYWAY... [B]I wonder if other dogs think poodles are members of a weird religious cult.[/B] ~Rita Rudner HA! [SIZE="1"]XD[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkGreen"][FONT="Tahoma"]Whenever I try to introduce someone to anime, I try to not only pick something that would fit their interests, but I go for something that isn't forever and a day long. Take Case Closed, it is fun but jeez, it has so many episodes that haven't even been licensed that it's just absurd really. So in addition to what everyone else has said, I'd go for something that is 26 episodes or less. If it's their first time really watching anime, they're more likely to enjoy it if it's not bogged down with useless fillers like some shows are. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkGreen"][FONT="Tahoma"][quote name='Rachmaninoff']Also, I just looked at that list Des linked too, looks like a number of stores in the surrounding towns is having the sale but not the one closest to where I live. Ironically, I never shop at the place. o_O[/quote]And I totally missed the link in Dessy's post. Uh... oops? ^^ If that list turns out to be accurate (since there's a follow up that says it's not the final list) then the one here is on it. I guess I'd have to look at Sunday's ad or actually go to the store to be sure. But since we really don't shop there for anime, I probably won't go and look. Still, it is kind of sad to see. With the economy and all, seems like you're constantly hearing about places closing their doors or slashing what they carry. :animesigh[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkGreen"][FONT="Tahoma"]I understand that they're just cutting back. Since I don't get my anime from there, I don't know if the store here is doing it or not. o_O We tend to get stuff through Amazon and sellers there. Well, when we actually do buy it which isn't very often. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkGreen"][FONT="Tahoma"]I've wanted to be a vet or work in a vet clinic for as long as I can remember. So I guess I'll find out if that desire sticks around once I get out of High School and head for college. =P [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkGreen"][FONT="Tahoma"]And here I was more into stuffed animals instead of dolls. I don't even have any Barbie's and never have. lol Still I find the idea of banning dolls like this kind of stupid really. It just seems like a waste of time and money to even try. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkGreen"][FONT="Tahoma"][quote name='Boo][size=1]Of course [url=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=54015][b]The Complaint[/b][/url] speaks for itself if you read it through. Well, [B]the first post says enough[/B'].[/size][/quote][B][I]LIES.[/I][/B] Read further. I forgot to adopt you. [SIZE="1"][I]*adopts Boo*[/I][/SIZE] There, I'm done. As for the rest of this thread... I'm not [I]that[/I] old yet. So no sitting in a rocking chair and knitting [I]god knows what[/I] while reminiscing over the good 'ol days. :blulaugh:[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkGreen"][FONT="Tahoma"]Hahahahaha! If Victoria had a puppy, she'd be hiding it from Edith right about now. XD I think that woman's gonna have her wanting to hide behind Gustave while they're in her house. After all, I get the feeling that if Victoria brushes up against something or looks to closely at something... Edith is gonna pounce. =P[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkGreen"][FONT="Tahoma"][QUOTE=Allamorph][FONT=Arial]Well, that's all from me, guys. Heh. What'd you think of the big reveal? :p Oh, and Kathy, ma'am, probably the reason this bit has felt kind of familiar to you is because I pulled the concept straight from [U][I]The Cardinal of the Kremlin[/I][/U], one of Tom Clancy's novels. I encountered that technique for the first time in that book, and I remember being struck by how singularly effective it was, and how cruel it was at the same time. I had fun shaping this section. Thanks for giving me the opportunity.[/FONT][/QUOTE]o_O I'm kind of sorry you're done cause your posts are fun. Even if they were creepy... >_> As for that book, I know my mom has it. [I][SIZE="1"]*goes to snatch it for reading* [/SIZE][/I] Anyway, I too have posted. HA![/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkGreen"][FONT="Tahoma"][I]How did I end up here again? [/I] Commander Matheson knew the answer, there was considerable unrest among the people since many felt the war should end. And naturally the High Council was not interested in hearing what she had to say. Their answer to her recommendation to drop the research on Pharus had been to return her to active duty and send her patrolling the outer edges of sectors thirteen and fourteen. They didn?t want to listen to her warning that news of the forbidden research could result in another rift among the people. If riots were to occur now, they could undermine the war effort, handing victory to the New Alliance. And though Crystal did agree with some of their goals, but she knew better than to think handing over control would really make a difference. She did believe that perhaps the members of the Resistance would be sincere, but the others, Crystal knew it was a political ploy to seize power and prevent them from being ousted for sharing the same genetics as some of the slaves. Only a small percentage of the families tied to the High Council were in favor of doing away with slavery, and those who were, did so for their own gain, not out of any real desire to right things. And even then, those who did were far outweighed those who did not. If not for the Resistance backing them, the war would have ended already. [I]And why am I still dwelling on this? [/I] Crystal forced her attention back to the main viewer of the bridge. It was a shame that they didn?t put her back in charge of the [I]Tempest[/I]. This newer ship, the [I]Vesole[/I] felt fake to her. She didn?t know the crew since there hadn?t been an opportunity for her to pick any of her senior staff. They had been together for all of two weeks and she felt like she had barely managed to scratch the surface since checking the duty roster for a larger battleship was time consuming. She could see it in the eyes of her crew, the question of why a genetics specialist and doctor was in command. It had been the same with the [I]Tempest[/I] until they had gotten to know one another better.[I] I suppose this is better than working on the research back in sector one. [/I]And it was undeniably better than being returned to duty as the chief doctor of the [I]Creator[/I]. [I]I should be glad they didn?t put me back with Commander Drace, even if I?d rather fade into the background somewhere. [/I] She was considering returning to her quarters when the softest of chimes indicated that her second in command had received updates from the various outposts in the area. [I]What new ghost shall we chase down today?[/I] She wondered. Crystal had done nothing but that since she had arrived. Picking up drifting debris from when the New Alliance had attempted to free Earth. Halting smugglers and merchants attempting to sneak things into the sector? That was all she had done since she arrived. It was menial babysitting work designed to keep her out of the picture. The problem was that she didn?t know what she really wanted to do, other than to perhaps whack people upside the heads and get them to behave. ?[B]Commander?[/B]? her second in command spoke up and then hesitated. He turned to look at her, his expression one of surprise. ?[B]What is it?[/B]? She prompted. ?[B]We?ve received reports of a ship drifting in Imperial space.[/B]? She stared at him, her eyebrow going up when he didn?t elaborate. ?[B]Anything else?[/B]? He started, ?[B]Sorry sir, it?s just that the report from the scanners on the automated outposts indicate that there?s only one person on board.[/B]? ?[B]I see,[/B]? she said. ?[B]Who is on board and what is the ship's distance from our current location?[/B]? ?[B]The identification request has gone unanswered; I?m requesting a secondary scan.[/B]? He explained. ?[B]The ship is approximately six hours away at top speed sir.[/B]? ?[B]Set a course immediately.[/B]? ?[B]At once sir.[/B]? Just her luck, it was probably another idiotic merchant or trader looking for valuable junk to salvage. There was a lot to be gained by that kind of work, but if something went wrong, it also meant you were stranded. Still what kind of idiot was dredging this area of space? Looking at the charts, there wasn?t anything to be found where the ship was drifting. They had barely entered hyperspace when yet another soft chime sounded, most likely the reply to the request for further information. He leaned over a tad to read it and then jerked back, stiffening in surprise. ?[B]Was the system able to identify who is onboard?[/B]? Though she was certain it had, his startled expression of disbelief gave it away. ?[B]Out with it.[/B]? She barked when he just stared at her, saying nothing. ?[B]It says that the person on board is Commander Scorer.[/B]? He finally managed, his eyes searching hers, looking for some sort of explanation. She had none. Stunned Crystal just stared at him. She couldn?t think of what to say. She knew that he had vanished but?[I] How did Jared end up on a ship drifting on the edge of known Imperial territory? I thought the New Alliance had captured him.[/I] She continued to stare at her sub-commander. [I]What is going on? [/I][/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkGreen"][FONT="Tahoma"][quote name='Drizzt Do'urden']Oh and just a heads up, anybody who thinks KG is exaggerating when she talks about the close quarters needs to think again. Base housing can get pretty tight, and if her dog was running loose she wouldn't have a dog.[/quote]Why would we think she's exaggerating? There are fourplex's here where four families share the same yard no less. So anytime someone lives in an environment where there isn't much space, it would make more sense to hear of someone's pet getting into someone else's furniture. Anyway, now that you've cleared this up Knuckles' Girl, I'd be more inclined to consider it a threat. Your neighbor knows your dog is kept chained and that space wise, it's not going to be that easy to keep your dog off of his furniture. I don't know what you can do, but honestly, if you don't have much space, then you just don't. It sounds like he's being a jackass and yet at the same time I'd be concerned that he'd do something stupid. I don't know if it's possible to fix things to keep your dog off his furniture, but if there's a way, I'd try to implement it. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkGreen"][FONT="Tahoma"]It's really easy for me. Since I make plenty of mistakes myself... I don't care that others do too. Though I do have to admit that I hate some of the mangled stuff you get in a chat environment. Seeing u instead of you and ur instead of your, bugs me. But since it's chat, I just say nothing. =P[/FONT][/COLOR]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DarkGreen"]It sounds like a threat to me. However as a dog owner myself, I have to wonder why you're letting your dog roam around. o_O No offense, but that's rather careless on your part and even if he was a jerk, why should he have to put up with your dog getting into his stuff? I don't let my dog wander around because one: they don't need her pooping on their lawn and two: they don't need her chewing up their belongings. I definitely recommend not letting your dog roam freely since that would solve the problem right there. [/COLOR][/FONT]

[COLOR="DarkGreen"][FONT="Tahoma"]Pity copyright stuff will make that flag impossible. It's still pretty funny though. :catgirl:[/FONT][/COLOR]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DarkGreen"]I think stereotypes happen because people don't bother to get informed on the topic and because unfortunately, there are people who actually do fit the stereotype. Around here, some people assume all anime is porn, so if you read or watch it, they automatically assume you are a pervert. It doesn't make it true of course but there's just no point in bothering to talk to idiots like that. It was almost a year and a half ago, but I went with my sister to get one of the Harry Potter books the night it was released. They ran everyone in a line through the store and that included going past the manga section. There was some woman in front of us who when we got there, proceeded, in a very loud and obnoxious voice, to whine and complain about them selling pornographic crap. I was more surprised that she didn't know you can't sell porn on the shelves at a bookstore in Utah than over her reaction. I know my sister and I weren't the only one to pull back and give her lots of space, everyone was looking at her like she had grown horns or something. [/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DarkGreen"]We have an older computer that doesn't work. I wouldn't mind fixing that so we'd have more than one around here. XD It wouldn't hurt to also fix the central air. It doesn't quite work right so that would be nice too. [/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DarkGreen"]Boxes with extra blankets and clothing. Some stuff for school in another little box and various chew toys that belong to my dog. o_O I think the cat drags them under there since Aaryanna doesn't get under the bed. [/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DarkGreen"][quote name='Aberinkula][FONT="Tahoma"']Anyhow, I kind of find it odd that someone appointed America's Attourney General is complaining about the country he's serving.[/FONT][/quote]He's giving a speech for Black History month. =P I'm sure there are areas in the US where what he's talking about is a problem. However like Rach already pointed out there isn't a high percentage here so it's not a case of avoiding, it's a case of there literally aren't that many. [/COLOR][/FONT]

[COLOR="DarkGreen"][FONT="Tahoma"]You're so long winded Allamorph. [I]*pokes you*[/I][QUOTE=Magus][i]Research the various types of hard drives available from online and / or local retail stores. Make a chart of several different models of 1 TB HDDs. Include price, interface type, spindle speed, and average seek time.[/i] 2-3 pages chart = 1 page The chart is easy. The problem is the writing portion. (Writing's not a strong point for me.) [U]How do you even begin writing a paper when the info you have is so vague?[/U] There's nothing to go on. I don't even know if I'm suppose to compare the stuff on this chart or anything.[/QUOTE]Unless you've already gathered the data you need for your chart, it sounds like you're jumping ahead. The chart is easy right? Go and get the info, the information for it won't be vague so once you have it you can write up in detail the differences between them and thus support the chart you just made. Considering how much information there will be about the different drives, you should have little trouble hitting 2-3 pages. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkGreen"][FONT="Tahoma"][quote name='Ace][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Yep. Definitely ready for parenthood. [IMG]http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n72/Aceburner85/Obviousavatar.png?t=1234937000[/IMG'][/FONT][/quote]That's what I was thinking. o_O Man, talk about messed up. The idea of having a relationship with anyone isn't something that I think of and I'm sixteen! The idea of being a parent that young is something that baffles me. No matter what the kids or anyone else says, there is no way they're ready. The very fact that they'll have to rely on their own parents to not only live with and pay for everything, is proof of that. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkGreen"][FONT="Tahoma"]And here I carry next to nothing. o_O Just keys, some money and a little wallet with my student ID and such. I hate any form of a purse, though I don't mind a backpack with my stuff for school. The rest of the time, I'd rather not carry anything. Oh and when it's cold, I'll also carry some chapstick since the cold weather seems to dry my lips out a lot. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkGreen"][FONT="Tahoma"]Hmmm, nope. I haven't cried during a game or gotten teary eyed. I usually get mad when they kill off someone I like. >_> Other people it's kind of a meh, they died or this happened, so what... etc. Though I don't play games very often and therefore don't have a lot to look back at. So I'm sure that doesn't help. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DarkGreen"][SIZE="2"]Over at theOtaku, the trendy thing to do is blame Shinmaru. So perhaps if we blame him here too it will solve the problem! >_>
